    If I’ve learned anything about people through the past decade of politics its that you can never ever assume anything about people being intelligent in any group.

      If I’ve learned anything about political discourse it’s that you have to assume that some level of mutual understanding is possible for communication to be worthwhile, and for everything to not devolve into back and forth trolling. So, while you can’t assume intelligence, sure, you also kind of have to.
